My brother-in-law lent me this fisheye lens for my newly refurbished Sony a6600. It's really fun, but what else are you supposed to photograph besides skateboards and punk rock bands?

Good job backing away from this one Sony.

The Helldivers 2 furore is bonkers. If you missed it, Sony, seemingly against wishes of the dev studio, pushed to add a mandatory PSN Network sign-in months after launch on one of their biggest, most popular games on PC, and not only did the community revolt (dropping review score into the teens), but the game is now pulled from 177 storefronts and Steam are issuing refunds (as PSN only works in certain countries). The studio has told players to make their voices heard

That didn’t take long

Guess they stick with #Sony

Well, I guess that’s it for #HELLDIVERS! It was fun as long as it lasted but like always, corporate greed has taken over

#Sony now required people to link their #Steam to their Sony-soon-gets-hacked-again accounts

I, like so many other players refuse this and just stopped playing all together since Sony just doesn’t give a shit about security

Review updated, guess they got what they wanted

The problem with this generation's consoles? Not one company (#Sony, #Microsoft or #Nintendo) is brave enough to put natural woodgrain on their systems. A missed opportunity that I hope they rectify in future generation consoles.
